Wanda Realm Guilin
Club Med Guilin
Sheraton Guilin Hotel
It’s a nice hotel, and the staff is great. However, with no air conditioning in the room, temperature control is nearly impossible. You are either hot with the windows closed, or cold with them open, while the traffic noise disturbs your sleep
